Finding Posts

Am I doing something dumb? Ween searching for posts in this system I enter words from my posts - that I know are in there - and the search keeps coming back with nothing found. I entered the original; I KNOW it is there

Further, I search, as a test, for posts I'm looking at on the screen and using words from their subject line, and it tells me "nothing found!

Is there a way to find posts from an author without starting with a post from that author?

Depends what newsreader you're using. I'm using OE 6 and have found the
search lousy as well. I tend to use Google instead.

Hi, Norm

As Rob says, it depends on the search engine. Another factor is latency.
Some engines cache and search that rather than doing a live search, so the
most recent posts may not show up. Google is the standard until something
better comes along.

Is there any way to find a string representing an object's class, which will work in Internet Explorer 6?

Hi there, I have a website that functions fine locally, but when published to the server it develops a bottleneck during loading some of the pages. Basically what happens is the page loads to about 25% then it freezes for anything from 10 - 40 seconds, before suddenly loading the rest of the page. Of course I understand that this could be down to some code on the page locking the thread or suchlike, but I would like to be able to be...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
